    En este artículo, describimos la aparición de un estado más ligero y más fragmentado surgido como consecuencia de la transformación de las organizaciones del sector público, las cuales de ser entidades multifuncionales integradas se convirtieron en organizaciones autónomas con un solo propósito. Posteriormente, discutimos los efectos y las implicaciones de esas nuevas formas organizacionales del estado moderno y el equilibrio entre diferentes normas y valores, tales como democracia, libertad, equidad, justicia y eficiencia, en el sector público. Por último, discutimos los retos que implica introducir reformas de la NGP en países con puntos de partida diferentes para las reformas administrativas en sus respectivos sistemas político-administrativos.

    In this paper we describe the emergence of a leaner, more fragmented state brought about by the transformation of public-sector organizations from integrated multi-functional entities into autonomous and single-purpose organizations. We then discuss the effects and implications of these new organizational forms of the modern state and the trade-off between different norms and values, such as democracy, freedom, equity, justice and efficiency, in the public sector. Finally we discuss the challenges of introducing NPM reforms in countries with different starting points for administrative reforms in their respective political-administrative systems.
